Yanks Take
Lead Over
Hungarians
Budapest, Hungary (CPD
Olympic champion Tom
Courtney, making what could
be his last real attempt to
break the world 800 meter
record before retiring, was ex
pected to lead United States
track and field forces to the
completion on a solid victory
over Hungary today.
Although no official tally
of points was being kept, the
U. S. men's team held a 66-30
lead over Hungary going into
today's events while the Hun
garian women led the U. S
women's team, 33-30, in un
official standings.
Courtney, former Fordham
star from Livingston, N. J.,
already holds the world 880
yard record and is anxious to
add the 880 meter mark, too,
before he ends his ' brilliant
career. He came out of semi
retirement to compete on this
U. S. touring teem and ex
pects to quit completely after
the meets here and at Athens,
Greece.
A crowd of more than
50,000 at Nep-Stadium saw

Theater TV
Expansion
Considered
New York (UPD Irving B
Kahn, president of the tele
prompter Corp., may start
monthly theater-TV shows
within the next year- if the
Floyd Patterson- Roy Harris
title fight proves a competi
tive and financial success.
Kahn, a nephew of song
writer Irving Berlin, would
like to hear the music of f our-
million-dollar or five-million-dollar
gates at regular inter
vals for big fights, football
classics, World Series games,
basketball championships and
red hot Broadway stage
shows.
"I'm considering the possi
bility of presenting outstand
ing., monthly attractions
through closed - circuit tele
vision to theatres and other
locations in the United States
and Canada," he said. "But
before I go any further, I'll
wait and see what success we
have with the Patterson-Harris
fight on Aug. 18."
Would Cut Costs
'Kahn stressed that costs
would be much cheaper all
along the line from produ
cer to spectator if the closed-
circuit shows were presented
at regular intervals, instead
of once or twice a year on
grab-bag dates.
Although Irving is not the
promoter of record for the
Patterson-Harris fight at Los
Angeles, his all-out promotion
of sales for the 516,000 seats
now available at theatres and
arenas has hit the boxing
world with a refreshing im
pact.
The former director of ra
dio and TV for 20th Century-
Fox said the Teleprompter
corporation in which West
ern Union has a robust inter
est will take a $275,000
gamble on eliminating a radio
brodacast of the fight and on
signing a sliding-scale, must-
be-good-fight movie contract.
Reject Radio Offers
He said, "We have rejected
offers as high as $75,000 for
the broadcast rights in order
to attract more fans to the
theatres. We know that 20
million listened to the broad
cast of the Ray Robinson-Carmen
Basilio return bout at
Chicago in March. And we
figure that at least one per
cent of those 20 million will
go to. the theatres to see the
fight if there's no home
broadcast."
. The distributors, to be
named later, will pay a very
high percentage if Harris
wrests the crown from Patter
son or puts up a sensational
fight. At the other extreme.
the distributors' payment will
be very low if the bout is a
fiasco.
"Should we be wrong in
our appraisal of this fight,
we'll get about $200,000 less
than we would have been as
sured on a straight-away con
tract," he said.
